NYC fast food workers plan job action

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 04 April 2013 | 19.50

NEW York City fast food workers are rallying for higher wages.

Organisers say hundreds of workers plan to demonstrate on Thursday at dozens of fast food establishments, including McDonald's, Domino's, Wendy's and Pizza Hut.

They want fast food restaurants to pay them $US15 ($A14.41) per hour. Workers earn an average of $US8.25 per hour.

New York's minimum wage is $US7.25 but the legislature last month voted to raise it to $US9 by 2016.

The protest includes a march and rally on 125th Street in Harlem.

The walkout is organised by the Fast Food Forward labour-community coalition.

It coincides with the anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr's assassination in 1968 in Memphis where he was leading a peaceful march in support of striking low-paid sanitation workers.
